Chapter 19

“This bastard, he probably just thought we were having fun chatting.” Si-Jin answered, his indifferent gaze still fixed on the screen. The way he stood made him look as if he was looking for a signal for the phone. Na-Yool glared at him and mocked him internally.

She was even more annoyed by the fact that, despite looking like a weirdo with his arm up high, it emphasized his sexy jawline. But what could she do about it? Nothing, and she knew it. Filled with displeasure, she nonetheless glared at his smooth and slender jaw. Just then, a shameful image montage furtively passed in front of her eyes.

“……”

His tightly closed jaw. His mesmerizing jawline and the sweat dripping down her forehead. Their bodies, roughly moving against each other. And that… going up and down, making her dizzy, that…

Jawline.

Right. That damn jawline.

This obscene part of her memory had haunted her from Saturday to Sunday afternoon, and deprived her of sleep. And that, despite the fact that, be it because of work or her break-up, she did not sleep for all weekdays and was exhausted to the point of falling asleep anywhere.

I think I’m seeing for the first time how hopeless he is…

But contrary to Friday night, this time held a bad meaning.

However, why, when she looked at his pathetic state, why did such a dirty memory come back to mind?

Could a pathetic man possibly be sexy? From her experience, Na-Yool did not believe so.

And in that sense, never had Na-Yool dated a sexy man. All the men she had dated thinking that they were okay were somewhat weird and pathetic. That observation put a damper on her desire.

Am I that bad at picking guys?

No, it can’t be. Let’s look at my line of ex-lovers.

Though she might sometimes have picked a few wrongly, ultimately, most of them were rather normal. Even if she had indeed made the wrong choice by going out with some pathetic men, never did she ignore that side of them and got flustered by them, betrayed her heart, and blamed her hormones.

So the situation is different.

For example, like right now. He is pathetic but…

But he was sexy.

That is, despite the aversion and contempt she felt towards him.

It was a strange dilemma. Surprisingly, Na-Yool had already experienced that feeling. Just a few days ago, last Friday night. Like that night, she felt bewitched now. An attraction without logic. A chemical reaction that manifested as if set from the beginning.

Si-Jin’s expression was not different from usual. He looked relaxed, just like the most detached man in the world.

The fact that he acted childishly so openly in the company with such an aloof face – and that posture, which made him look like he attempted to communicate with outer space – was pathetic beyond words…

He truly is too vulgar and hopeless, but that jawline, it’s…

Mouth-watering.

He is so pathetic I want to hit him once but…

… But she wanted to ignore that urge, and just lie down under that jawline of his one more time. That kind of… dilemma.

Yes, a dilemma. But why does it have to be? No, above that, ‘one more time’?! What the heck? Did I lose my mind?! I did, didn’t I…

“…And so, you were also thinking of marrying him, is that it?”

“…Yeah. What?”

In a flash, Si-Jin burst her bubble of thoughts. Na-Yool raised her head with a stupid face.

Si-Jin’s oddly twisted head and arm were now back to their normal position. As if his weird posing never happened, he was back to looking like a normal human being, the nonchalant Kwon Si-Jin.

Dangerous. Such a good-looking appearance was dangerous… Na-Yool’s instinct rang an alarm.

In retrospect, Na-Yool had been caught up with Kwon Si-Jin right when he was the most pathetic and despicable person in the world – that is, undoubtedly, when he acted like a molester would – and ended up rolling with him under the moonlit hours. What is more, in his office. At the company!

For Na-Yool, who lived a well-ordered and normal life, it was inconceivable. Never did she imagine doing it in that space, with slightly transparent walls, where hundreds of people could walk in and out during work hours.

Furthermore, with the man who always made her grind her teeth… This pervert beyond common sense……

So it was easy to understand how much more dangerous the good-looking Si-Jin was to her.

Even if he was just a shell that briefly entered her life…
